There's also FAR 1030, on June 1st this year, which looks like fun. https://friendsofamateurrocketry.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/FAR-1030-5R-Competition-June-1-2019.pdf

Yeah, we're looking at April again right now.  Specifically, Thursday April 16 through Saturday April 18, 2020.  Anyone see any obvious conflicts with the 16th through 18th?

The rest of April is tough.  Two weeks earlier overlaps with Space Foundation, one week earlier with Easter, and one and two weeks after overlap with various local finals weeks.  So the first real alternative would be mid-May, which is starting to get close to ISDC's trad late-May/early-June.

Now there's a question: Would anyone here who might otherwise attend a Space Access have a problem if we ended up right before ISDC?

These probably aren't conflicts because they're later in the year, but the Spaceport America Cup is held every June or July (https://www.spaceportamericacup.com/) and BALLS at Black Rock is every Sept (http://www.tripoli.org/Balls).

Thanks again for opportunity to contribute at this year's Space Access, Henry. It was great to see you and so many other old friends & fellow travelers.

I look forward to getting together again next year!
